A disclosed imaging apparatus includes a wide-angle optical system having
at least chromatic aberration of magnification; an imaging device
including color filters and configured to receive an optical image from
the optical system via the color filters and to convert the optical image
into image data; and a chromatic aberration of magnification correcting
unit configured to convert coordinates of the image data and thereby
correct chromatic aberration of magnification of the image data. The
chromatic aberration of magnification correcting unit is configured to
convert the image data into different-wavelength image data having
wavelength bands different from original wavelength bands of the color
filters before correcting the chromatic aberration of magnification.
